My Identity & Lived Experience
I’m a queer Black woman, and these identities are central to my practice. I know what it’s like to navigate systems that weren’t designed for us. I understand the exhaustion of code-switching, the weight of discrimination, and the strength it takes to show up authentically. I’ve lived at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities, and I bring that understanding into every session.

LGBTQ+ Services I Provide
Identity Exploration & Coming Out: Affirming space for exploring gender identity, sexual orientation, and relationship structures. Support for disclosure decisions, family reactions, building chosen family, and finding community.
Transgender & Gender Expansive Care: Gender-affirming therapy including support for transition, healthcare navigation, dysphoria, and authentic self-expression. I provide letters for hormone therapy, surgeries, and legal name/gender marker changes.
LGBTQ+ Relationships: Couples and partnership therapy for all configurations, including polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships.
Sex-Positive, Kink-Aware Therapy: Shame-free space to explore sexuality, desires, and practices. I understand BDSM/kink dynamics, consensual non-monogamy, and alternative relationship structures.
Trauma-Informed Care: Healing from conversion therapy, religious trauma, family rejection, hate crimes, intimate partner violence, discrimination, and minority stress using EMDR, DBT, and other evidence-based approaches.
Neurodivergent LGBTQ+ Support: Affirming care for LGBTQ+ individuals with ADHD, autism, and other neurological differences.
Substance Use & Harm Reduction: LGBTQ+ affirming addiction treatment understanding the connection to minority stress and trauma.
